Mr B's review

Cultures and languages intermingle with class in this sparse novella set in Tokyo. Claire speaks broken English with her grandparents – refugees of the Korean War – having been raised in French- speaking Switzerland, and her Japanese is rusty at best. Lost in translation with her own family, Claire will need their help to recognize the cure for her feeling of rootlessness. One of this year’s most elegant explorations of what really forges our cultural identity.
